Red Cross Club for American Nurses in London. The Drawing-Room, an immense room of quaint shape. Its beautiful parquetry floor, kept in a high state of polished perfection, positively implores to be danced on. The long windows on the Grosvenor place, side opening on to a balcony, which looks straight out over the grounds of Buckingham Palace, where King George and Queen Mary may often be seen walking about

Reciprocal aid. American nurses and officers enjoy themselves in nurses' quarters of a new 3,000,000 dollar hospital "somewhere in Australia" which government of Australia has provided, without payment by the United States, for American servicemen recuperating from wounds and illness. Hospital is one of many Australian contributions under reciprocal lend-lease. Left to right: Miss Bertha Only, Middletown, New York; Major James Hipple, Pierre, South Dakota; Lieutenant R.A.

Red Cross Club for American Nurses in London, the Lounge. This was one of the first activities of the American Red Cross in Great Britain. Early in June 1918, the attention of the Red Cross in London was called to the fact that many American nurses were arriving in London en route to France, and that there was no adequate provision for taking care of them during their stay in London. It was therefore decided immediately to start a club for nurses, and an ideal location for this purpose was found in a beautiful residence at 42 Grosvenor place close to the American Embassy and convenient to Red Cross headquarters. The club was opened a few weeks later and has been a great success under the chairmanship of the Viscountess Harcourt

American nurses bring far more than hospital skill to the wounded American soldiers in France. They speak their language, not English merely but American, understand their slang, know what they like to hear read, and when the American Red Cross Nurse and the American soldier begin talking about home, home means the same kind of a place and the same kind of folks to both. This natural sympathy is particularly important in treating cases of shell shock, the nervous result of battle, where the most perfect understanding between nurse and patient is essential. Surgeon General Gorgas has called upon the Red Cross to enroll for the Army Nurse Corps, 8,000 graduate nurses by Oct. 1st

American Nurses at St. Katharines Lodge London, ARC hospital No. 23, although located in the heart of London, the hospital has large grounds and adjoins one of London's finest public parks. It is more like open country than the center of a busy metropolis. Squirrels as domesticated as kittens play about the lawns and even enter the wards and help themselves to dainties from the patient's trays. They are great pets of the nurses. They don't know what you mean when you say "Here Bunnie" in England squirrels are called "Guthbert"

What's going on inside? The scene is laid in the grounds of the big American hospital at Dartford near London. Convalescent American soldiers, American nurses and doctors and Red Cross men and visitors, are all seen running over toward one of the ward buildings, whose windows are wide open to the afternoon's sunshine. What's the attraction? It is one of the little Sunday afternoon "ward entertainments" arranged by the Red Cross to keep the boys who must remain in bed happy and bright. Some singer or story-teller, or even a ventriloquist or a conjurer, goes round the wards, giving a five minute entertainment in each. And the men on the outside enjoy it just as much as those inside
